Keep an eye on your air cleaner, it looks hungry, like it may try to suck the whole contraption in if you're not carefull.

That's pretty... I am *so* getting one of those.

... well... after I swap the working engine over... and get the car repainted... and redo the interior... and maybe build up one of the spare motors... but definitely after that!

Unless I break something in that process... darn the whole "starting a car project with no cash" thing.

Dude, if she is already trying to occupy project funds, wait until you make the big commitment. My rotary project and my wife are arch enemies. They both be in the garage dueling over money and ****. My wife is going to the University of South Dakota, and my 13B wants to get put back together and put into a car so it can start spanking all these riced out pieces of **** around here. Its a never ending battle, but I figure the way this country needs nurses, I'll let her go to school so when she starts working I can divert more funds to the project.

Ahem...I beg to differ! Having the colors clash will only add power!

That thing is the bbefiest one I've seen so far. What's it made of, cause if it's steel, it looks like it wieghs a ton!

Also, are there ones of similar strength in construction that you can also brace the engine to?
